A Mountain Brook Residence
The room functions not just as a home theater but as a entertainment space with a pool table and bar. The system has a 120" fixed screen with the projector built into a recessed space in the ceiling so it isn't visible. The room also features built in surround sound speakers designed by the same person who designed the IMAX movie theater speakers. The projection screen is acoustically transparent allowing for the center channel speaker and subwoofer to be hidden behind the screen. This room is soundproof, something we consulted with architects to achieve. A neat feature is the light above the screen blinks when the doorbell rings instead of disturbing the show with a loud noise. The homeowner has a built in intercom/paging system allowing them to talk to the front door from the telephone. While speaking to the front door they can simply hit a button on the phone too unlock the door from any phone in the house.
